A snowstorm at the height of summer? Has the weather gone crazy? It appears it has—and the Everyman Dwarves of the Bailliwick of Catalon know who’s to blame: the Human, Omnivor who rules the Erdeklein Alliance, a group of six countries called Bailliwicks and whose smelter is spewing out pollution that’s changing the climate. However, when a dwarf discovers Thordina’s Globe, inhabited by the spirit of Catalon’s founder, Erla and her four young friends learn there’s a way to set their world right: they must find the five Hands of Tempora, powerful magical artifacts that can turn time back to when their land was unpolluted. Calling themselves the Coalition of Five, the friends set off in an open-top, solar-powered, centuries-old charabanc on an adventurous journey that tests their endurance, their resolve, and their friendship. Along the way, they’re stranded in the Grey Granite Hills, nearly drowned by an agent of Omnivor’s, confronted by two brutish half-Orcs, imprisoned by Omnivor’s mutant Dragonbred, and almost burned alive. They also encounter unexpected allies who help them in their quest just when help is needed most. Only by working together can they save their precious Bailliwick of Catalon from Omnivor’s climate-changing pollution—and even if they succeed in destroying his smelter and finding the first of the Hands of Tempora, it’s only the beginning of their task as a series of thought-provoking adventures lie ahead in which the dwarves face all kinds of threats, unknown problems and unimaginable disasters...

More than forty years after the composer's death, the music of Roberto Gerhard (1896-1970) continues to be recorded and performed and to attract international scholarly interest. The Roberto Gerhard Companion is the first full length scholarly work on this composer noted for his sharp intellect and original, exploring mind. This book builds on the outcomes of two recent international conferences and includes contributions by scholars from Spain, the USA and UK. The essays collected here explore themes and trends within Gerhard’s work, using individual or groups of works as case studies. Among the themes presented are the way Gerhard’s work was shaped by his Catalan heritage, his education under Pedrell and Schoenberg, and his very individual reaction to the latter’s teaching and methods, notably Gerhard’s very distinctive approach to serialism. The influence of these and other cultural and literary figures is an important underlying theme that ties essays together. Exiled from Catalonia from 1939, Gerhard spent the remainder of his life in Cambridge, England, composing a string of often ground-breaking compositions, notably the symphonies and concertos composed in the 1950s and 1960s. A particular focus in this book is Gerhard's electronic music. He was a pioneer in this genre and the book will contain the first rigorous studies of this music as well as the first accurate catalogue of this electronic output. His ground-breaking output of incidental music for radio and the stage is also given detailed consideration.

For countless millennia, the dwarves of the have defended the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Many and varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died attempting to breach it. No man or beast has ever succeeded. Until now. . . Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith labors contentedly in the land of Ionandar, the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. Although he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is alone -- indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf. But all that is about to change. Sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained. Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage. Although he has many unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter where he was raised, he is a true dwarf. And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.

The dwarves are going to battle for the last time. There has been no word from the courageous warrior Tungdil since the bitter struggle at the Black Abyss. Dragons, magicians, and the cruel élfar have advanced far into the kingdom Girdlegard, ruthlessly seizing vast areas of land. It seems that the dwarves are facing their next battle with very little hope of survival. But then the inexplicable happens; a dwarf warrior dressed in black armor returns from the abyss -- with a formidable army in tow.
